These conditional probabilities demonstrate that each of the partition's four subclasses is causally relevant to patient data <math>D=\{\delta_1,.....\delta_n\}</math> in the population sample <math>PO</math>. Given the aforementioned partition of the reference class, we have the following clinical situations:

We took a long and tortuous path to better understand the complexity encountered by the colleague struggling with the very heavy ethical responsibility of making a diagnosis. However, this task becomes even more complex when we need to be detailed and careful in making a differential diagnosis.
